Forced into an Arranged Marriage, I Have No Desire to Run

Zhao Wu has been in the entertainment industry for years, and with his devilishly handsome face, he has long held the top spot among the industry's pretty faces.

Rumors say his private life is a mess, and his reputation is terrible.

With a contract, he was handed over to the wealthy young master Yu Yan.

According to rumors, Zhao Wu and Yu Yan were college roommates years ago, and Zhao Wu had offended Yu Yan. Now that Zhao Wu was in Yu Yan's hands, everyone assumed the notoriously nasty young master Yu wouldn't stop tormenting him until he was dead.

Everyone knew that Yu Yan and Zhao Wu had been forced into this marriage. They were just waiting for Yu Yan to grow disgusted with Zhao Wu and cast him aside, leaving him unable to show his face again.

At a party, after a few rounds of drinks, the two men at the center of everyone's attention both disappeared.

Someone went into the wrong room and saw the famously beautiful, wicked Zhao Wu wearing the white shirt Young Master Yu had worn to the party. He lounged lazily, his pale jade-like foot resting on Young Master Yu's leg.

The short-tempered young master wasn't angry at all. Instead, he held Zhao Wu by the ankle, his eyes red with desperation.

"I've been so good and done everything you said. Why won't you kiss me?"

After being targeted by his stepmother and younger brother, Zhao Wu was reborn on the first day he married into the Yu family.

In his previous life, his marriage to Yu Yan was just as everyone had expected: they had nothing but the title of husband and husband.

Zhao Wu himself had spent years barely speaking to this fiancé who lived under the same roof, and thought they simply weren't suited to each other.

To change his tragic fate from his previous life, on his first night in the Yu household, Zhao Wu honored their contract and readily sat on Yu Yan's lap.

The notoriously ill-tempered Young Master Yu shoved him away and shouted, "D-don't come any closer!"

Zhao Wu: "?"

Yu Yan clutched the blanket to protect his chastity, his face red as he murmured, "This is too fast. W-we should start as friends!"

Zhao Wu: "???"

Zhao Wu thought Yu Yan hated him.

Only later did he realize Yu Yan had loved him for many years.

Experienced seductress bottom x genuinely innocent top

[Bonus Scene]

Zhao Wu and Yu Yan appeared on a married-couple reality show.

Before the show aired

Zhao Wu's fans: "How could Brother marry a man with such a terrible character and temper? Poor Brother, sob sob sob."

The haters: "He deserves it. What true love could there be when he climbed the ladder by latching onto a rich man? Young Master Yu is probably sick of your Brother already."

After the show aired

"Damn, Yu Yan's eyes look like they're practically dripping with love whenever he looks at Zhao Wu."

"Sob sob sob, do good men like this really exist?"

"They say he's obsessed with his wife, and it's true. He's so in love with him!"

"Who said Young Master Yu was forced to marry Zhao Wu? He's so devoted he could win an Oscar for pretending!"

Reader's Guide:

1. The bottom has a terrible reputation, but he's knowledgeable and inexperienced. It's all rumors.

2. The top is genuinely innocent, like a little schoolboy. No matter how cocky he looks, he gets timid as soon as he sees his wife. It was love at first sight for him, and his secret crush comes true. He's not the bold, direct type, he's not the bold, direct type, he's not the bold, direct type.

3. The golden finger is ridiculously powerful, logic is dead, the plot is brainless, the writing is amateurish, there are no real-life models, and they're very sweet together.
